For some reason, the live broadcast time for What is an Actor was moved up by a week.
Today was the top ten to top five advancement round.
At 9:30 AM, Chen Feng arrived at the Yan Jing Grand Theater.
Following the staff to the mysterious room, he, as usual, went to check out his opponent and the content of the play they were to perform.
When Chen Feng picked up his opponent's information card, he was immediately stunned.
Huh?
Zhuang Feifei?
It was actually her.
This was going to be very difficult.
Zhuang Feifei debuted very early and already had film and television works, possessing a certain fan base.
Competing against her?
He was at a disadvantage.
Chen Feng frowned and picked up the play script card he was to perform.
After reading the card, he was even more speechless.
His and Zhuang Feifei's topic was an impromptu performance, with the topic given by the live judges and performed on the spot.
Why was the mid-term difficulty so high?
On-the-spot topics were definitely harder to perform than those with fixed scripts.
Chen Feng let out a long breath.
With such high standards, he wondered if it was designed according to his level or Zhuang Feifei's level.
Leaving the mysterious room, Chen Feng arrived at the rehearsal room.
After pushing the door open.
A girl stood by the window inside.
She wore a white dress.
Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders.
She was fashionable and beautiful.
It was Zhuang Feifei, one of the Beijing Circle's 'Three Sisters'.
A somewhat famous actress.
She had appeared in many youth romance dramas and even released personal singles.
Overall, her comprehensive qualities were good.
In terms of appearance, her face was a bit long, her mouth a bit large, and her temperament was rather cool, so she couldn't be considered a true beauty.
It was just that her makeup was well done.
"Hi, hello."
Seeing Chen Feng enter, Zhuang Feifei politely bent at the waist and smiled, extending her hand to greet him.
"Hello."
Chen Feng also responded politely.
"Hello, I'm Zhuang Feifei."
"I'm Chen Feng, I've seen you on TV."
Chen Feng smiled and shook hands with Zhuang Feifei.
"I've seen you on TV too, you know."
Zhuang Feifei smiled and stared at Chen Feng: "I've watched all your performances from the previous few episodes. I feel like you're so amazing, you can act like anything?"
"Really?"
Chen Feng shrugged: "That's why everyone online says I'm a real Addict, it's just that they haven't found out yet."
"Haha, what people say online is the least trustworthy."
Zhuang Feifei chuckled: "Online, they also say I'm one of the Beijing Circle's 'Three Sisters', that I have a busy nightlife, and that my private life is chaotic. But I don't, I just treat it as nonsense."
"That's right."
Chen Feng smiled and nodded.
"But, I'm so nervous."
Zhuang Feifei clutched her chest and said helplessly: "Have you seen our topic? It's an impromptu performance. Why are we so unlucky? On-the-spot topics and performances are the most terrifying. What should we do?"
"Don't be nervous, getting nervous easily leads to mistakes. Just stick to the plan. There's actually a benefit to this."
"What benefit?"
Zhuang Feifei was stunned.
"The benefit is, we don't have to rehearse."
"..."
Zhuang Feifei was a little speechless.
This is a benefit?
What's the point?
Can it help me advance?
Zhuang Feifei didn't want to talk anymore.
She patiently communicated a few words with Chen Feng, not because she wanted to make friends, but just to see if she could glean some information from Chen Feng's mouth.
For example, how he dealt with such impromptu topics.
At least last time, when the judges asked him to portray arrogance, he seemed to perform quite well.
It was said that Director Jiang Wen particularly liked his acting style.
That's why Zhuang Feifei asked a few questions.
But what nonsense was this guy saying?
Not a single useful word.
Just spouting toxic chicken soup.
Like 'don't be nervous, getting nervous leads to mistakes'.
Such nonsense was as good as saying nothing.
Zhuang Feifei lost the desire to speak, casually pulled out her phone from her bag, gestured to Chen Feng, and turned to leave.
Chen Feng also didn't speak anymore.
He walked to the other side and sat down.
He thought to himself, if he and Zhuang Feifei were given an impromptu topic, they indeed wouldn't need to rehearse during the day, so why did the director team make them come here?
They couldn't just sit there staring at each other all day, could they?
There must be something to it.
Just wait.
Sure enough, about twenty minutes later.
Associate Director Li Dong entered.
"Zhuang Feifei, Chen Feng, come here for a moment."
Chen Feng and Zhuang Feifei quickly walked over.
The three sat on chairs.
Li Dong looked at the two seriously and said: "Out of the five groups competing, you are the first group, and you drew the impromptu topic."
"Strictly speaking, it's the most difficult."
"However, considering the two of you, one is a new actor with film and television works, and the other is a rising star who stood out in the advancement rounds."
"So the production team believes that impromptu topics are not a problem for you, right?"
After Li Dong finished speaking, he looked at the two intently.
Chen Feng nodded casually.
He truly didn't care about such situations.
But Zhuang Feifei couldn't do that.
She was actually intimidated.
But since he asked that way, what else could she say?
Could she possibly say she had a problem?
Zhuang Feifei could only force a smile: "Associate Director, I have no problem."
"That's good."
Li Dong smiled: "Neither of you has a problem. I also believe both of you are contestants with solid skills."
"But..."
"We are, after all, an entertainment program."
"We still hope that every group of contestants can bring the most authentic, most extreme viewing experience to the audience."
"Therefore, the director team has made two sets of preparations."
Li Dong casually handed the folders he brought to the two of them, one for each, and said with a smile: "Regarding your impromptu topic, it will be chosen from the following scenarios."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng suddenly understood.
Oh!
What impromptu performance, it was still pre-designed.
Presumably, the director team was afraid that the two would get stuck on stage and be too embarrassed?
If they had such a consideration, it must be for Zhuang Feifei's sake.
They didn't want her to be too humiliated.
Because he had no fame, he was just an extra.
Who would care?
Indeed, after Zhuang Feifei heard Li Dong's words, she immediately took the folder with a beaming smile, quickly opened it, and glanced inside.
At the same time, she said delightedly: "Associate Director, you are the most considerate."
"Haha."
Li Dong chuckled.
Chen Feng could be disregarded, but Zhuang Feifei had a powerful backer.
They couldn't let her lose too much face.
She was on the idol path, and if she got stuck during the competition and lost fans, wouldn't the people behind her cause trouble?
Now, the production team had done their best.
If Zhuang Feifei still got stuck on stage then, it wouldn't be anyone else's fault.
Actually, to be fair, Li Dong hoped Chen Feng would win more.
If he won, wouldn't that create a buzz?
Now Chen Feng already had his own traffic.
So, Li Dong patted Chen Feng's shoulder, stood up, and said with a smile: "Think it over carefully, and try to face it calmly. Alright, I'm leaving now."
After speaking, he left the rehearsal room.
With the 'cheat sheet' in her hand, Zhuang Feifei had no further interest in playing nice with Chen Feng, she directly turned and walked to a corner to read the materials.
Chen Feng shook his head and also opened the folder.
The first scenario: a dying patient with cancer and a nurse.
Chen Feng: "..."
There's an 'mmp' I don't know whether to say or not?
